I OB Feb. 17. 1970 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 1 McEvoy Upholds Epiphany Line Greenwood Kicks By Dave Dorr Tom McEvoy, DuBoarg High sharpshooter who leads the area in scoring, has furthered a unique tradition with excellence this season. He is the latest in a long line of athletes who got their start at Epiphany Grade School, then went on to About Mules distinguish themselves at area high schools.

McEvoy's older brother, Mike, a member of DuBourg's 1964 Missouri Class cham Prep Notes By Harold Tuhill 'The game was over and Bob Greenwood, the Washington' University basketball coach, was clearly unhappy. "I've never seen anything like it," he said. "We had five calls go against us in the last minute and 40 seconds. I felt they were bad calls and told the officials so in their dressing room." The officials were Jerry Carleton and Ray Rippelmeyer. pionship basketball team, attended Epiphany, which is located at 6576 Smiley Ave standouts Johnny Reed of Webster Groves and Bob Foxworrh of DeAndreis.

They are the players around whom their team's attack revolves. Reed, a 6-3 senior forward, scored a career high of 43 points in the Statesmen's 72-61 home-court victory over Ladue Saturday night and set a Roberts Gymnasium record. The Webster scoring record for one game is 61, by Jim Krebs in 1933. Reed, however, now owns a fistful of other States-" men point marks. They are career scoring (1467), most points in a season by a forward (541), most points in one quarter (21) and consecutive games started (80).

Theo Franks held the old career mark with 1088 points. Reed needs 100 points to match Krebs's single-season record of 641. "Reed has played under more pressure this year than ever before," said Statesmen coach Jerry Stepro. "He has been double-teamed almost every game. It's been tough to get him loose for a shot But he's been the one the other kids look to when the chips are down." Foxworfh Keeps Things Lively Foxworth, a 6-3 senior forward, is one of a number of standout frontliners produced at DeAndreis.

Last season, the Wildcats had Clinton Harris. Before Harris there were Jack Thomas, Bob Buck, Bobby Cole, Darrell Jones and Ralph Telken. 4 "Foxworth is an excellent rebounder, a fine shooter and a-good ball-handler," said DeAndreis coach Wayne McKim. "The other guys have to stay alive whenBob starts driving for the basket. If they don't, they're liable to get bonked in the head by 'one of his nue.

So did Joe and Jim Gummersbach, Mike Shannon, Phil Noser, John Kilo, Greg Mass, Jack Fleming, Bob DeLargy, Mike Bick, Mike Winkleman, and Mike Novak. Jim Gummersbach, now the basketball coach at Hancock High, credits Harry Bres-nahan with the early development of the talent at Epiphany. "Harry was our coach, although at first he was sort of unofficial," said Gummersbach. "His job was driving a bread truck. After he was finished with his route he would come to the gym and work with the kids.

He taught us the fundamentals. i i ''ft tev I ft, "Finally, the school hired him. He had a number of duties, including that of maintenance, but always he was ready and willing to coach the kids." DuBourg, which has a 17-4 record, meets Christian Brothers in a non-conference game tonight. Coach Roger Laux's Cavaliers can clinch at least a tie for the Catholic Athletic Conference crown by beating Vianney on Friday. Tom McEvoy, a 6-foot-4 senior, has been a starter for two years.

He is averaging 31.2 points this season and is within range of the area's, best single-season average of 32.9, established by Collinsville's Tom Parker in 1968. McEvoy, who has scored 656 points this year, also has a shot at three school season marks. The Cavalier record is 872, held by Rich Niemann. McEvoy needs 65 rebounds i to equal Dave' Rademeyer's record of 380 and 38 free throws to match Rademeyer's mark of 212. mum a A liiiiiiiii fmmm A flllllllll 1 Kfi I 1 I -ill I ii Tom McEvoy Bob Foxworth Johnny Reed Unbearabl CENTRAL MO.

To Bills pend largely on two shooters, 6-4 forward Joe Wiley, with a 19.6 average, and 6-1 guard Jim Irving, 17.0. The lack of accuracy on the part of other Billikens has been a handicap. After last, week's victory over St. Louis; Marquette coach McGuire acknowledged that in the second half his team had concentrated largely on Wiley and Irving after going into a zone press, gambling that the Bills' other marksmen would not hit often enough to do much damage. That is the game in which St.

Louis scored just one field goal in the first 19 minutes of the second half. Both the Billikens and SIU stress defence. St. Louis has allowed opponents an average of 70.3 points a game and the Salukis have given up 71.7. SEE IT AT POPULAR PRICES!

Archibald A player who went from southern Illinois to Kentucky and then to Southern Illinois may make the St. Louis University Billikens wish he had stayed in the bhiegrass country. Greg Starrick, the traveler, will be a major scoring threat for Southern Illinois University when the Salukis play the Bills in a basketball gam, at The Arena at 8:15 tonighti'" Starrick became eligible for varsity play at the start of the current semester. The 6-foot-2 sophomore was used as a reserve for a few games, but in the last four games he "has started and averaged 23 points. A couple of years ago, Starrick was such a standout at Marion, about 20 miles from the Salukis' Carbondale campus, that he was one of the most sought-after prep players in the nation.

Coach Jack Hart-man had hopes of getting Greg to attend SIU, but Adolph Rupp at Kentucky, proved to be more persuasive and Starrick went SOUth.

Ted Bozarth's field goal with six seconds remaining won for the Mules. Washington which trailed 35-34 at halftime, surprised the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association's second-place team with a spurt that carried the Bears ahead, 48-42, after 5V, minutes of the second half. And with two minutes left, Washington went into a stall, trying to protect a 65-64 lead. That's when the officials began making some of the decisions that rankled Greenwood. First, the Bears were charged with holding the ball for more than five seconds while an opponent was pressing.

The Mules controlled the jump and then threw away the ball. Next, WU's Ken Rinderknecht was trying to work his way out of heavy traffic, when he was charged with. the violation. The Bears got the tip but, with 1:07 left, Rinderknecht was whistled to a stop again this time for an offensive foul, his fifth personal of the Again, the Warrensburg team lost the ball and, again, Washington was slapped with a penalty. Joe Meives was dribbling out of the backcourt while holding his free arm stiffly in front of him.

In the opinion of one of-f i i a 1, this also constituted "charging" and Meives was tagged with a foul. So Central Missouri got the ball with 33 seconds left. The Mules went into a weave and, with six seconds left, Bozarth got the ball at the top of the free-throw circle and plunked in the game-winning Greenwood tried to signal his players to call timeout but the game ended before the clock could be stopped. Winning games in the closing seconds is old hat for Bozarth, a 6-foot-4 junior from Warrensburg. Bozarth has scored the winning goal with only seconds to play on seven occasions over the last two seasons.

Bozarth' was the culprit here last year when the Mules nipped the Bears in overtime, 83-82. Washington now 7-11, will meet Culver-Stockton (15-6) at 7:30 tonight at the Field House. Central Missouri returned Warrensburg with a 15-5 record. Long Struggle Ends: Central Beats McBride Tom Brannon's goal in the final 40 of regulation time tied the score at 2-2 and Central High School then ended its standoff with McBride by scoring a 4-2 victory in double overtime yesterday to gain the championship game in the North District soccer tournament. Central, which had played through 10 overtime periods in a scoreless match with McBride Saturday, advanced to a showdown with top-seeded Rosary on goals by Gary Glasscock and Brannan in the second extra session at Forest Park.
